Good News: Woman stands on road for several hours in rain to warn commuters of manhole

As Mumbai witnessed torrential rains and gust storms, several parts of the city witnessed heavy waterlogging, causing inconvenience and disruption to the traffic. However, in a video that recently emerged online and is making rounds on the internet, a good Samaritan standing on a waterlogged street cautioning the commuters of an “unforeseen” danger—an open manhole. In the clip shared by Dr. Madhu Teckchandani, a woman can be seen standing atop a manhole’s cover warning the traffic of the open manhole on a rain swamped route. 

In nearly 1 minute and a few seconds video, the woman clad in a purple and green coloured saree was seen waving at the commuters signalling them to divert from their path. Water can be seen gushing out of the pit as the entire street is submerged is murky dark brown water. The caption read that the video was shot at Tulsi Pipe Road in Matunga West, Mumbai and the lady had stood there for almost 5 hours for the noble cause. She ensured that no casualty or a mishap occurred due to the barely visible manhole underneath the puddle of rainwater.
